MAKE THEM DANCE!
Cookie and Josh will lead you through the slow, medium and fast dance tempos, and especially examine how to communicate with a dance leader, how to play the music in a way that makes the dancers wanna lift their feet, how to handle the rhythmic connections between phrases. This is a class, especially suited for those who want to be able to play a dance party, and we will be spending half the class with dancers, who are learning how to work with musicians!
Dance (3:30pm-5:15pm)
LOMIR ALE TANTZEN! Let’s all dance!
Our expert dance leaders, Bruce Bierman and Gilberto Melendez, will teach us how to lead and participate in the various tempos and movements of Yiddish dance by getting cues and inspiration from the music and musicians.
We will spend the second half of class dancing and working with our fellow student musicians and their teachers.
